The point about Vashj/Kael is true. But it would be far more easy if you had to kill every boss before them only once and could than spend time on working on them. Skipping Vashj und Kael is something only few guilds consider as much as I heard. We raid now for 2 to 3 hours on three days, which is ok during winter. So we will most likely spend one day in Hyial and one day in SSC and one in TK and just skip bosses we don't really need (like Hydross).
But the point is also the competition for raiders, that isn't really there or happening for big parts on the PTR.
1. Phase: Hard Competition with very unforgiving fights. (4 to 6 weeks), big status symbols
2. Phase: Normal Competition, some nerfs to the most brutal abilites (2 months) some status symbols clearly distinquished from the fist ones
3. Phase: Less time consuming, trash and boss HP nerfed, respawn disabled (3 months) normal loot but no more status symbols
4. Phase: Cavern of time possibilty (6 months after release) - explained below
A rather nice idea would be cavern of time instance of older instances were you could fight along with NPCs that replace missing raid members. So someone could experience Onyxia, C'Thun and all these fights at a later point in an very comfortable way. The loot could be given normally, as it should be obsolete by that time.
